[C++-sig] [Py++] wrapping boost python types fails

Good to know. But do you have an explanation, why gccxml is unable? Is there any chance I could work on a solution, or have experienced developers already given up?
Do you have some references of other attempts to solve the problem?

For a workaround: It is no problem to exclude the offending code from compilation. But then how can I wrap classes that expect for example a python list as input?

Thanks
